Preliminary results have shown an important effect of the laparoscopic duodenal-jejunal exclusion in the treatment of T2DM. Studies with longer follow-up and a larger number of patients are necessary to better define the role of this new and promising procedure.

ALI values are expressed as EBD lung leakage (microg EBD/g dry lung weight). EBD lung leakage values in the CLOD-LIP group were 32.59 +/- 12.74 for I/R, 27.74 +/- 7.99 for LAP, and 33.52 +/- 10.17 for CTR. In the LIP group, lung leakage values were 58.02 +/- 18.04 for I/R, 31.90 +/- 8.72 for LAP, and 27.17 +/- 11.48 for CTR. In the UNTREAT group, lung leakage values were 55.60 +/- 10.96 for I/R, 35.99 +/- 6.89 for LAP, and 30.83 +/- 8.41 for CTR. Within each group, LAP values did not differ from CTR values. However, in the LIP and UNTREAT groups, values for both the LAP and CTR subgroups were lower than values for the I/R subgroup (p < 0.001). The CLOD-LIP I/R subgroup value was less (p < 0.001) than the I/R subgroup values in the LIP and UNTREAT groups. These results indicated that I/R provokes ALI that can be prevented by CLOD-LIP treatment, and further suggested that AMs are essential for ALI occurrence induced by intestinal I/R in rats.

HighlightsThe rarity of these finding as a important differential diagnosis in groin and femoral hernia repair.Diagnosis made at operative field with possibility of preoperative diagnosis with duplex ultrasonography.The treatment well illustrated in figures by the simple ligation of the feeding vessel.Great review about the venous aneurysms and the treatment options.
